We are now dealing with far more intergenerational addiction and I know that anyone involved in youth services would say that where once a child could go to their grandmother, they cannot necessarily do that now. That is an awful thing to say. That means greater levels of supports are necessary to help people when they find themselves in these circumstances. We know that we do not have wraparound services, which I am sure is a situation our witnesses have come across in the last while, or is it?
